Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney Disease: An In-Utero Diagnosis.
Curēus 2023 April
Multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) is a congenital cystic kidney disease that can be incidentally seen during the antenatal ultrasound. The condition is most commonly asymptomatic. The clinical presentation is usually characterized by multiple small cysts or a single dominating cyst in the fetal kidney depending on the type of MCDK. Most cases undergo spontaneous involution, and complications like hypertension, infection, and malignancy are rare. We present the case of a young Primigravida who was diagnosed to have a fetus with unilateral MCDK in the second trimester and further followed up later in pregnancy as well as four months postnatally. The pregnancy was unremarkable, but for the diagnosis of MCDK in the second trimester; the infant was doing well at the four-month follow-up. Pre-natal ultrasound and MRI are able to diagnose MCDK reliably. Conservative management and follow-up is currently the most common protocol used to manage MCDK.
